Some celebrity kids took career cues from fathers

Hollywood is full of famous father-child combos, including Donald and Kiefer Sutherland, Kirk and Michael Douglas and Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie.

And then there are the Fondas: Three generations, three Oscar wins and 12 total nominations.

Henry Fonda, whose 50-year career included movies like "The Grapes of Wrath" and "12 Angry Men," finally struck Oscar gold in his third nomination, winning for his last movie, 1981's "On Golden Pond."

The acting bug proved genetic, with Henry, Peter and Jane Fonda being the only father-son-daughter Oscar nominees ever. Two-time Oscar winner Jane's nominated co-starring role in "On Golden Pond" made them the only father-daughter duo nominated for the same film.

Then there's Bridget Fonda, who as a 4-year-old made her screen debut in her father's landmark counterculture film "Easy Rider." While the youngest Fonda hasn't achieved the accolades of her famous elders, she had memorable turns in movies like "Point of No Return," "Jackie Brown," "Single White Female" and "Singles."
